superheropinups: Spider Girl - Dansartrealm I miss her. She’s really the only good thing to come out of the MC2 continuity. Throughout her run, the writers kept doing something you don’t really see in modern comics very much: her opponents constantly belittled her for being a girl or spat the sort of verbal sexual harassment a woman might hear on the street near a construction site. Mayday (May Parker) takes this in stride and generally just handles everything the other characters spit at her and doesn’t let it get to her. On top of that, May insists on trying to handle things non-violently first. She delivers the traditional Spidey wisecracks, but she doesn’t limit them to the opponent: there’s constant genre-aware jabs at industry tropes like “superheroes beat each other up until they’re friends”. Oh, and some of her rogues gallery look like Nagel decided to paint Tim Curry crossed with Zoltar from Battle of the Planets. Seriously, I could not make that up. -- source link
